When you order the above complete flipper assembly and selected the items I mentioned, it will arrive with everything installed and wired, including the correct EOS switch and the spark suppressing capacitor.

Barring a broken part - Cleaning the sleeve, smoothing the plunger with sand paper, and filing the coil stop flat accomplishes like 95% of what a rebuild does and costs nothing.

Yes you could do that, but that won't eliminate any "slop" in the assembly. Slop robs the flipper of power and response.

Pinbot is from 1986 and if it hasn't had a flipper rebuild, it's waaaaaayyyy past due. You'll probably find the coil stop is worn down and the plunger excessively worn too. Not to mention the slop in the plastic link or the bolt going through the link. Don't forget the end of stroke switch has had 31 years of sparking to wear it down too. In those days they never put any capacitors on the end of stroke switches. The complete flipper assemblies I linked too have all the updates/upgrades already. The modern units also make it easy to replace an end of stroke switch because the mounting bracket is bolted on not welded.

So you think I should rebuild with that kit instead of the fliptronic style?

Slop is caused by a worn out link. Certainly worth inspecting but I've rarely had to replace. If the flippers feel nice and you can make the shots, there's no need to replace any of this. Even if it's 31 years old. I think a lot of owners don't bother with a cleaning attempt and give too much credit to their new parts.

Oh God! Your flippers are 100% all original! Looks like they've never been rebuilt. All old style parts. I see tons of wear on the plungers plus you've got the original black plastic links. Needs to have capacitors installed, but with those old style EOS switch brackets, there's no place to mount them.

Standard procedure for me now is any solid state machine coming in for service now gets a capacitor on the EOS switch as well as a .1 uf @ 500 volts ceramic disc capacitor across the flipper button (cabinet) switches to keep them from sparking.
